The Black Pipers

Between Pont-L'Abbé and Quimper (2x)
He caught two thieves.
 
Two big thieves were caught (2x)
Immediately caught, immediately judged
 
'I'll be there when he will be judged (2x)
When did you arrive in Quimper?'
 
'To Quimper when we arrive (2x)
it'll be time for the thieves to be hanged”
 
[Music Interlude]
 
[Unknown lyrics 2x]
Against an oak in the middle of the wood.

Cry about Kyiv

1
Hervé Saint-Patron of the Bards
Gave me the inspiration
He gave me the inspiration again
To compose a song
To compose a new song
A Gwerz on famine
On the large famine of Kiev, Ukraine
That took away three million people
That took away three million people
By the order of one man
 
2 Woe, a thousand misfortunes, men in red
Woe, woe, men in red in December
When they came into the country
To take away all our property
To take away our animals and our wheat
They left nothing at all
And here we are in misery!
 
3 If a traveler asks the way to Kiev
Tell him so: 'Follow the ravens in the sky
They will lead you readily
Follow the wild dogs in the fields,
They will get you there easily! '
And when you arrive in Kiev
You will find endless despair
On the streets
You will only see dead people
Thousands of people starved to death
Scavengers feed on them
As never before
You will also see a small child
Crying, calling out to his mother
Ravens all around him
They will not have long to wait
 
4 'Who is that knocking at my door so late
Who wants to come in?
If it is Death
May she enter fast
May she enter fast
To shorten my suffering
Madam, I am not Death
But a traveler
A traveler benighted
Looking for a place to sleep
Looking for a bed
And a little food
'I am left with nothing to eat
Only the cold earth
I have nothing to offer, today is the funeral
Of my three children
My three children are wrapped in a shroud
My husband is lying next to them '
 
5 Where there were seven children in a house
There remained only three
Their father looked with sorrow
And said to his wife: 'Which of the three should I kill
To let the two others have food,
Who should I sacrifice,
I cannot choose,
The small one or the big one? '
As he spoke he took a knife
And plunged it into his own chest
 
6 Here comes the summer
And the wheat that grows
This year
Will get lost in the wind
Will get lost in the wind
But the memory of the people of Kiev will live
Until these words are sung
In tribute to the millions of those
Who died in winter ...
 

Lament For Kiev

Versions: #2
For the wanderer inquiring as to
The way to Kiev, tell them this -
'Follow the vultures in the sky,
They will show you there unerringly.'
 
And into Kiev he shall appear
Broken-hearts he shall find there.
On the street is humanity slain,
All along its length lie by the hundreds.
 
O loli, o lolo
O loli, o lolo
O loli, o lolo
O loli, o lolo
 
A chilly rap on my door in the dank darkness,
Imploring to be allowed to come in.
'If it's you, come in quickly from outside,
Then you have come here to menace us?
 
So if it's you come in quickly from outside,
Won't you come in, you are a cordial comfort?
Won't you come in, to give us a genial repose,
A release from this famine?'
 
O loli, o lolo
O loli, o lolo
O loli, o lolo
O loli, o lolo
 
'Woman, I am not Death,
But a wayfaring wanderer
In search of a bed to sleep,
And a scrap of food to eat.'
 
O loli, o lolo
O loli, o lolo
O loli, o lolo
O loli, o lolo
 
'There's nothing left to serve them anymore
Except for the cold earth, for thousands, their ruler.
There are only chilled planks in the house,
For they, my three children lie upon them.'
 
O loli, o lolo
O loli, o lolo
O loli, o lolo
O loli, o lolo
 
'Alas, for the bed there are only stools,
Upon them still are my three children.'
 

The One That I Love

The one that I love, once we were young and at home
When we were so very, very close to one another
My heart hadn't a care, for I loved only one
When I was young and at home (with) the one that I love
 
The one that I love, I've lost you forever
He came here from far away, and he will not return
And it's this I'm singing, singing it again and again
And so it is I'm singing to the one that I love
 
That one I love, one day he left me longing
He left to distant lands, to a land I know not why
He's gone to distant lands, to find his fortune
He is missing, lost each day, the one that I love
 

I Am Waiting

Versions: #2
I have been waiting, waiting from afar
In the somber shadows of the towers drab
In the somber shadows of the towers drab
 
In the somber shadows of the towers' spray
You will see me waiting forever
You will see me waiting forever
 
One day it will come again
Above the seas, over the lands
Over the lands, above the seas
The spring's breeze will return
To revive, my broken heart
 
I will be drawn away by its breath
Far away within its flow, its worthy wishes
The determined desires, far from this world
That is between the sea and the stars
